Work Starts On Church's Condominium

October 12, 1985|By Compiled from staff reports

TITUSVILLE — A Titusville Assembly of God church has started construction on a 120- unit condominium for retirees and plans to add a health care center, bank and offices within five years. Ground-breaking ceremonies will be Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. across from the Assembly of God church on State Road 405 in Titusville.

Nineteen of 30 condominiums scheduled for completion in March already have been reserved at prices ranging from $47,900 to $55,900. Christian Life Center Pastor James McClain said he has received ''dozens of calls'' a week from interested people around the country.

The center has a school for first through fourth grades and a day-care center on its 26 acres west of Titusville.

A master plan of the community, recently approved by the church's 350 members, outlines plans for enlarging the school, which has 100 students, and adding 90 condominiums, a clubhouse, bank and offices, McClain said. A family life center also is planned to seat about 700 students, which the church hopes to have after expanding its schools to the 12th grade.

Construction on the second phase of condominiums will start next summer and should be completed by late 1986.
